The author, a dynamic young Parisian, retraces his year-long cycle journey with long-time friend, Gabriel de Lepinau, through remote parts of the world, visiting minority and persecuted Catholic communities on four continents, including the currently war-torn areas of Syria and northern Iraq. In his direct and engaging style, the author combines vivid and fast-paced story-telling with accounts of deeply moving encounters with Christians who experience daily what it means to suffer and face death for their faith.
